Customer Feedback

I am very impressed with this simple and powerfull background remover software. Works as advertised.

Photoscissors makes it an easy and time saving excercise to remove backgrounds from photos - easier than in Pixelmator and easier than in Photoshop. It's great for people who don't know - or don't want to learn - how to use Pixelmator or Photoshop and the results are better than a beginner could obtain in either Pixelmator or Photoshop. It's s a simple case of painting the part (or parts) of the image you want to keep with the green brush and the parts you don't want to keep with the red brush. The software is quite "intelligent” in that it is able to recognise, without explicit user input, parts of the object that should be kept and which it would be impossible to accurately paint green. Spectacles for example seem to be identified by the software as belonging to faces despite the fact that sepctacles jut out of the side of faces. Quite impressive. The recent update does seem to have smoothed out the edges of the "cut” image although, and I can't be sure about this, perhaps the resulting image is not quite as sharply cut from the background as in the previous version of Photoscissors 2. In any case I use Pixelmator to smooth out the "cut” image - to ever so slightly blur the edge so that I can blend the image into a new background using Pixelmator. I would prefer the option to have a more rugged but possibly pixel accurate cut out that I could then smooth in an image editing program. It's a great, unique and very effective product though and I would not hesitate to recommend it.
